But the only export option being a proprietary formatting sucks. I would love (a) an option to change the dimensions or orientation of the cards. The profile orientation is great for phone viewing, but I would prefer the option of square or landscape cards as well for iPad. (b) the ability to export as a PDF would be awesome. A printable format intended for double sided printing with 1/2 or 1/4 page cards would be fantastic, as well as a general use PDF format with front/back front/back or front next to back options. I really want to share these cards with my classmates and have the option to print out cards!! But this, generally, is what I’ve been looking for with well-built multimedia flash cards including apple pencil support and built-in flip-through. Thank you! I look forward to feedback response! ### 3/5 — Annoying *2026-01-31, version 1.1.0* Can’t make cards horizontally? ### 4/5 — Great potential, some drawbacks *2025-12-11, version 1.1.0* Really great to have simple flashcards with Apple Pencil support, but there are some drawbacks - it’s impossible to conveniently find a particular card you’re looking for as you can’t search by content. Some improvements could be made here: allow for Apple Pencil to text input support (like in most other apps for text fields); also an icon on the review screen to jump into the editor mode for the card you’re viewing (so you don’t have to exit and find it if you want to change something). Would also be nice to have the option for landscape / square cards on iPad, there is plenty of room for this form factor. ### 4/5 — Great but… *2025-07-12, version 1.0.1* I absolutely love this app in comparison to other study apps other study apps have a lot of pay to play features that I don’t enjoy having to use this app makes it simple to utilize importing images, and even drawing your own images for study cards, which has been really useful for my nursing degree. what I don’t love though is how I can’t send this to other devices that I have I would love to be able to study on my phone as well with the flashcards. I’ve already made however, every time I try to send myself my own cards. I’m unable to access my study sites on my other devices. This feature would be really useful having the ability to be able to use your cards on other devices while unable to access the device in which you made your cards on originally all in all great app, I just wish they would add a feature that would make this more accessible. ### 3/5 — Problem *2025-05-10, version 1.0.1* This is great. I’ve used this a few times, but haven’t in a while. I opened the app again and for some reason I couldn’t use the drawing tool to create flashcards. What’s going on? ### 5/5 — This Is THE Best Flashcard App For Ipad *2025-01-26, version 1.0.1* This app is so underrated, it’s straightforward, user friendly, no ads, and no extra unnecessary fancy stuff. You can add cute pictures too. If you’re looking for a good beginner flashcard app get this one! ### 5/5 — A good free flashcard app :) *2025-01-20, version 1.0.1* I love it so much. It’s so hard to find a good flashcard app without it being blocked by a paywall. This app is so smooth and the features are nice. And it’s free too!! im over the moon when i found this app hahahahah ### 3/5 — Okay *2025-01-15, version 1.0.1* I wish there was an option to study with the reverse side showing first ### 5/5 — why did no one think of this sooner *2025-01-04, version 1.0.1* extremely useful ### 5/5 — Muy buena *2024-11-21, version 1.0.1* Deberían agregar un método de buscar palabras por tarjeta, muchas veces quiero buscar tarjetas por una palabra en específico y no puedo hacerlo, además sería bueno poder tener mas facilidades de cambiar el tipo de texto.😊 ### 5/5 — MUY BUENA *2024-11-20, version 0.28.6* Seria genial tener la posibilidad de agregar opciones de búsqueda para poder buscar una tarjeta en especifico en algún momento de duda ### 3/5 — Etwas wichtiges Fehlt *2024-10-12, version 1.0.1* Was mir sehr fehlt, ist eine Übersicht aller Rückseiten der Karteikarten. Dadurch ist es schwierig, meine Karteikarten zu vergleichen, und ich stelle oft erst spät fest, dass ich Informationen mehrfach notiert habe, ohne es zu merken. Manchmal suche ich nach einem bestimmten Wort auf einer Rückseite und muss mich dann mühsam durch 100 Karteikarten klicken. Das ist nicht nur frustrierend, sondern kostet auch viel Zeit. ### 5/5 — Great, simple app *2024-10-04, version 1.0.1* This app does exactly what it says it does and does it well. More importantly, the developer is responsive to inquiries and very helpful. Feedback is taken seriously and necessary changes implemented quickly. Thanks for a great, simple flashcard app! ### 4/5 — Top app *2024-10-02, version 1.0.1* Very useful application to create flashcards using the apple pencil. It would be very convenient to add options for the review of the flashcards such as, for example, back/front or random display of the cards. I know that this setting exists during the creation of flashcards but setting it up every time is tiring and maybe my needs change from time to time, so it would be useful to add this setting for all the flashcards of the review before starting the session. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2024-09-30, version 1.0.1* Nicest flash cards app I’ve used. Top! ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-09-13, version 1.0.1* Feyn is a great flash card app. Being free, it has decent features and is really helpful in exam preparation. ### 5/5 — perfection. *2024-09-11, version 1.0.1* Loved itttttt, even the subscription fee’s reasonable. Keep it up!!! ### 5/5 — Simple, Neat, and Helpful! *2024-09-05, version 1.0.1* I’ve tried other flashcard apps and I have found them way too difficult to get into. Some are locked behind a paywall, and some have a learning curve that takes hours to get over. This is the only app I found that has a clean look and can be used for free! It genuinely helps with studying and there is no annoying ads that distract you from your valuable studying time. I don’t usually pay for subscriptions, but this app definitely deserves support! The only thing I would encourage the creators to work on is a way to make an app for windows users, since it would be even more convenient to study from a computer. This is the way to go for a flashcard app! ### 3/5 — No option to search flashcards? *2024-08-30, version 1.0.1* A free app with unlimited handwritten flashcards sounds terrific and it is. Especially for language learning. But there’s no search option to search for flashcards. How did they miss adding such a basic feature? Suppose we want to search for a specific flashcard among 1000s, are we supposed to manually go through the cards one by one? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — cards delete automatically *2024-12-17, version 1.0.1* with every update all my cards vanish ### 1/5 — Free trial is not a free trial at all *2024-01-21, version 0.24.8* Subscription payment should be taken after the free trial. The app took the money just after i subscribed. I want a refound. ### 1/5 — App freezer *2023-10-23, version 0.22.17* The app freezer if you tap the back icon making it impossible to go se your flashcards ### 1/5 — iOS 16 da açılmıyor lütfen yardım edin haftaya sınavım var notları göremiyorum *2023-06-03, version 0.17.14* iOS 16 da açılmıyor hemen bir çözüm bulunsun lütfen ### 1/5 — Fix this bug ! *2023-05-24, version 0.17.12* Terrible because I had about 10 detailed flashcards and I swiped my finger on the screen and they all magically disappeared. They’re not even in the recently deleted folder. I have a biology exam in a few days, so thanks A LOT Feyn. ### 1/5 — FIX THE APP *2022-10-16, version 0.8.2* PLEASE FIX THE APP ON iOS 16, ITS BEEN WEEKS PLEASE I CANT STUDY ### 1/5 — Can’t Open On iPhone *2022-10-07, version 0.8.2* Same problem as reviewers from weeks ago, still can’t open the app on iPhone. You’d think that they’d have fixed it by now ### 1/5 — hoping to change my rating asap:) *2022-09-30, version 0.8.2* Works great on my iPad but it crashes every time I try to open the app on my phone ### 1/5 — Não abre *2022-09-29, version 0.8.2* O aplicativo simplesmente não abre ### 1/5 — App not working *2022-09-29, version 0.8.2* App crashes every time I try to open on my iPhone SE ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-20, version 1.1.0* compared to all those other flashcard apps that force you to pay and shove ai slop down your throat, Feyn is a beautifullly simple but also powerful app. I love the drawing feature ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-03-19, version 1.1.0* Insanely well made app. Really enjoy. All needed features are free, but you can get some handy analytics for like 2 bucks a month. Way better than any other flashcard app by far. ### 5/5 — Desperately needs Anki export *2026-02-09, version 1.1.0* Also zoom lock. On iPad mini I zoom in but each new card reset it. Tagging cards in review and creation could be way simpler as well. Great app though ### 5/5 — Intuitive and noninvasive *2026-01-28, version 0.28.6* This app is the easiest to use for a digital flashcards app without any distracting AI junk. I handwrite on an iPad, and the pencil tracking is excellent. The flashcard folder system is simple. The subfolder function is generally limited to one sub-level (can this be expanded?). Its also FREE ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-12-02, version 0.28.6* A hidden gem for sure ### 5/5 — MUST TRYY *2025-08-23, version 1.0.1* Rất đáng để thử luôn nha giao diện dễ dùng, ko lòng vòng , đáng dùng hơn quizlet, ko quảng cáo, dễ tập trung, mình thấy thích quá nên mới rate á ### 5/5 — Best Flashcard App!! *2025-05-31, version 1.0.1* I love the ability to handwrite my cards with Apple Pencil. It would be helpful if on the All Cards screen I could see the tags applied to each card to allow for more efficient grouping. As it is I have to take a couple of steps to see if I have tagged a card. Thanks! Love the app!! ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️ *2025-03-30, version 1.0.1* I love whoever developed this, sending you much love! ### 5/5 — Good for chem *2025-03-03, version 1.0.1* Nice for organic chem 🧪 ### 5/5 — ! *2025-02-10, version 1.0.1* I love this app but pls add horizontal cards :( and also idk why but when I write or add images they all have bad quality ;/ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
